Citing migrant influx, New York mayor asks court to suspend long-standing 'right to shelter'

NEW YORK (AP) — New York's mayor asked a judge on Tuesday to let the city suspend its long-standing “right to shelter” obligation, saying officials are no longer able to house every homeless person because of the arrival of tens of thousands of international migrants.

The right to shelter has been in place for more than four decades in New York, after a court in 1981 required the city to provide temporary housing for every homeless person who asks for it. Other big U.S. cities don't have such a rule.

But with the arrival of 70,000 asylum seekers since last spring, many of whom crossed into the U.S. from Mexico, the city has been challenged to find room for everyone in need of a temporary roof and bed.

“It is in the best interest of everyone, including those seeking to come to the United States, to be upfront that New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border," Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement.

"Being dishonest about this will only result in our system collapsing, and we need our government partners to know the truth and do their share," said the mayor, a Democrat.

1. No UDHR in some states. (But the Dept of State criticizes other nations who haven't also)

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations unanimously adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a set of rights to which all individuals are entitled.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has not been signed or ratified by states in the USA.

2. Those sent by bus by DeSantis and Abbott should be given a full meal packet...

a ride to Greyhound, and a one-way ticket back to Texas or Florida...wherever they came from.

3. I agree. If I were governor of Colorado or NY, I'd feed them and provide them with what they need

while I have them and put them on a bus back to Texas or Florida, back to whoever sent them.

I’m not even mad that Gregg Abbott is busing them to other states, it’s just that he’s doing this out of spite and for political points; it’s that this isn’t an action to solve a legit problem, like we expect political leaders to do. Instead of being a mature adult with the full power of the state government behind him and coordinating with his fellow governors to take some migrants off of his hands, he dumps him in blue states and only blue states. Instead of trying to ease what may actually be legitimately overwhelming amount of migrants and calling on his governors to coordinate with him, he buses them past all of the red states that may have some capacity to take some migrants just drop them off in front of the White House.

For that reason, I’d put them on a bus right back to Texas.

4. My thought is how we can hit 'em in the wallet for what the are doing. My Thought?

Impound the Busses or Aircraft moving those migrants.
Detain the drivers and Pilots for "questioning"...
Yes they will probably get the busses and planes back after a while but holding them up will hopefully stop the owners of said transport. and And AND cost them some $$$ and make them think twice about pulling this stunt again.
What cha tink?
